Here's my latest finished up.
Specs:
10 1/2" blade
5 1/4" handle
3/16" L6 steel
Figured American walnut and cypress laminated scales
3/16" steel pins
Flat ground with a secondary bevel, and sharpened swedge.
This blade will eat through a 2x4 like no ones business. This is the largest recurve I have done, it proved to be quite a challenge, but it was well worth it, in my opinion. I apologize for the smudges on the blade in the photographs. Should have cleaned it more thouroughly after some time in the woods with it earlier.
Thanks for looking,
Brandon

Thanks guys.
Steve,
It was the hardest grind I've done to date. Spent about 4 hours getting everything straight and symetrical.
Well it was time well spent!

That's a fine looking bowie for sure. I have been looking for a custom for quite some time. Something I can carry with me in the field and pass down to the kids.
Beautiful!
WOW! I love that knife!!!! :notworthy:
